Anis Hadj Moussa returns to Feyenoord squad ahead of Barcelona clash
Feyenoord winger Anis Hadj Moussa has been included in the squad for the Champions League match against Barcelona after his failed transfer to Al-Ittihad.
Feyenoord manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst has confirmed that the club and Anis Hadj Moussa have moved past the recent transfer saga. The Algerian winger has been included in the travelling squad for Wednesday's Champions League fixture against Barcelona at Camp Nou.
Hadj Moussa previously missed a league match after arriving late on two occasions, with his focus disrupted by a multi-million euro offer from Al-Ittihad that collapsed due to a lack of required bank guarantees.
He addressed the group on the training pitch. It was serious and occasionally met with a laugh from the squad. It was a good way to put this behind us. Giovanni van Bronckhorst
Van Bronckhorst praised the winger for taking accountability by personally addressing his team-mates during training. The manager reiterated that Hadj Moussa remains a crucial asset capable of deciding high-profile matches and expects the player to let his performance on the pitch speak for itself in Spain.
